It seems to me to be somewhat naive to post a copy and paste including the title without including any comments.

Possibly a better approach might have been to use as the title something like "interesting tpc database benchmark info".

Anyone who just puts in a copy and paste (granted a url was included) without any comment especially given the title seems to me to be asking for trouble.
To be surprised that people would be offended?

Just my opinion. Received on Sat Jan 29 2005 - 12:30:28 CST
